Class BeanActionFactory
- All Implemented Interfaces:
ActionFactory<Action>
Parameters in the XML file will be set on the bean if there is
a setter method with the same name as the parameter tag,
following the usual syntax rules. Eg. the parameter value
<icon>/images/icon.png</icon>
will
be passed to the setIcon(String)
method on the
bean. If there is no such method the factory will check if
there is a getIcon()
or isIcon()
method with a return type other than String
. If so,
the factory will try a second time to find a setIcon()
method with the same parameter type. Methods corresponding to
parameters that have not been set in the XML file are never
called.
The factory can convert the string values to other data types for the
following classes: int, long, float, double and boolean. It can handle
both primitive and wrapper classes. Example:
<enabled>1</enabled>
will return true
if
isEnabled()
is called on the bean.
Parameters supported by this factory
This factory supports all parameters. Some parameters may trigger special
actions:
- beanClass: The class name of a class that implements the extension points action class.
- disabled: If
true
theprepareContext(InvokationContext)
method returns false

prepareContext
Description copied from interface:ActionFactory
This method is called once for each request/use of an extension and have two purposes:- The factory should decide if the extension should be enabled or not. For example, the factory may check the permissions of the logged in user and determine that they are inadequate. The boolean return value determines if the extension is enabled or disabled.
- Initialise the context with resources that the actions may need.
With the BASE web-client this means that it is possible to
add scripts or stylesheets that is needed by the extension.
See
JspContext
.
- Specified by:
prepareContext
in interfaceActionFactory<Action>
- Parameters:
context
- The current invokation context- Returns:
- TRUE if the extension should be enabled, FALSE if the extension should be disabled
-
getActions
Description copied from interface:ActionFactory
This method may be called one or several times for each request. This is decided by the extension point. If, for example, the extension point is a pure single-item extension point then this method is probably only called once. If the extension point is a per-item extension point in a list context, then this method may be called once for every item in the list. The context parameter contains all information about the context of the extension point, including the current item, if any.- Specified by:
getActions
in interfaceActionFactory<Action>
- Parameters:
context
- The current invokation context- Returns:
- An array of actions that should be added to the extension point. Returns null or an empty array if there are no actions in the current context.
-
setParameter
Set generic parameters.- Parameters:
name
- The name of the parametervalue
- The value of the parameter
-
setBeanClass
Set the name of the class to use as a bean. The bean must implement the action class of the extension point. -
setDisabled
Sets the disabled/enabled status of this factory.- Parameters:
disabled
- A string that is parsed to a boolean byValues.getBoolean(String)
-
initBean
Create the bean object. Call all setter methods that corresponds to parameters found in the XML file.- Parameters:
actionClass
- The interface that the proxy must implement
-
createBean
Create the bean instance.- Returns:
- A bean instance
-
findSetterMethod
Find a setter method for the specified parameter. Try: setParam(String), T getParam() or T isParam() --> setParam(T) -
getMethodName
Convert the parameter name to a method name. First character of parameter name is upper-cased. The prefix is then prepended. Ex, 'icon' --> 'setIcon'- Parameters:
parameterName
- The parameter name- Returns:
- The tag name prefixed with 'set' and the first letter captialized
-
getMethod
Get a method with a specific name with optionally, takes a single parameter of given type.- Parameters:
beanClass
- The class to look for the method inname
- The name of the methodparam
- The type of the parameter, or null to look for a method with not parameters- Returns:
- The Method or null if no such method can be found
-
convertValue
Convert a string value to another type.- Parameters:
sValue
- The value to converttype
- The class to convert the string value to- Returns:
- The converted value, or null if it couldn't be converted
-
